Nobody talks about this part, so we made a whole night out of it.

After Dark: Pajamas and Pleasure Party is exactly what it sounds like. Put on your pajamas, grab your girls, and get ready for a conversation about intimacy, pleasure, and everything your body is still capable of that nobody in a doctor’s office has ever bothered to bring up. Dr. Mia Cowan is a board-certified gynecologist, and Goody Howard is a sexologist, educator, and consultant who had last year’s room so loud the hallway could hear us. Together they’re covering the things you’ve been wondering about but didn’t have anyone safe enough to ask. What happens to intimacy when your body is unpredictable. What pleasure actually means when fatigue and pain are part of the equation. How to stay connected to yourself and your partner when chronic illness keeps rewriting the rules. And here’s the part Goody will remind you of before anything else: the definition of pleasure is experiencing great joy and excitement, and it has nothing to do with sex. This session is about reclaiming all of it, not just what happens in the bedroom but the joy and connection that make everything else worth fighting for. This is a pajama party, not a lecture. Come comfortable, come curious, and come ready to laugh, because you will. October 30 through November 1, JW Marriott Buckhead in Atlanta. General admission is $200, VIP is $375. Comment TICKET and we’ll send you the link. #WeAreILLMatic #WellnessWeekend #BlackWomenWithMS #LupusAwareness #ChronicIllnessCommunity
